I love March! I just do! I think March is my favorite month of the year and February is my least favorite month of the year. March gives me hope and a smile.
Daffodils are probably my favorite "happy" flower. They come up in March and just shine for me. And strawberries start showing up in the market in March. What could be better than daffodils and strawberries?
The yellow green fuzz of new leaf buds and pink blossoms begin to show their beautiful faces.
by Ethel Romig Fuller, Kitchen Sonnets
Where yesterday were bare gold stems,
March's windy stratagems
Have today miraculously
Wrought new leaves on a willow tree.
New leaves so mistily winged and small
They seem to spray from a waterfall;
Water cascading headlong to stop
Midway down on its breathless drop.
New leaves so sudden-green they scorch
The somber sky with a fiery torch;
New willow leaves...new dreams again;
New high resolves in the heart of men.
A friend took me to a new tearoom yesterday to celebrate my favorite month. Oh! Did I say I am a March baby too. This new tearoom is a winner. They serve their tea with low sugar sweets. What could be better?!!!! The white cookie was like a moist shortbread with rose petals. Yummm!
What's your favorite month and why?
Oh! And not to forget, I just finishes Nora Robert's book, Mind Games. I quite enjoyed it.
Sending love,
Marilyn

I can see why March is your favorite month, as it's your birthday month. I love the month of May, as that is my birthday month. I love February, and December is a special month too. This new tearoom that you tried looks delightful, and the white cookie looks yummy. The camellias are so pretty and they are opening up nicely. And I miss those pink blossom trees. I used to see them grace the streets in my hometown. Have a terrific March week, Marilyn.
Enjoy your birthday month, Marilyn! There is much to delight in this month - warmer, brighter days, the emerging flowers and green shoots. How fun to visit a new tearoom!
In our neck of the woods, April is the month of hope and your blooms and landscape look more like our April! But when it's your birthday month, it will always be a favorite. That's a terrific looking tearoom and I love the idea of the lower sugar pastries!
